Tying Instruction : 1) Tie in the black thread about 2mm from eye, tying in the tail and rib about 3 mm from eye and wind tying thread tightly down the hook to bind them in as flat as possible. Wind down the hook until ¼ way around the bend. 2) Cut of the poly yarn to leave about 3 mm of tail and spread it in a fan shape with dubbing needle or tweezers 3) Wind the gold wire back up the body to give about 5 turns 4) Cut off the wire and wrap the peacock herl to about 2mm of the eye. 5) When winding on the peacock herl pull the fibres to the rear (just like you would a soft hackle wet) this gives a far neater thorax. 6) Tie in the head breather fibres as for the tail and whip finish. Note : Very effective when allowed to drift around on the wind or current. |

I started fishing when I was about 6 with my uncle George who was a great (covert) extractor of Salmon from the River Tay, he never took any more than the family needed and tended only to remove fish from stretches of the river owned by the English.
